Microscope Imaging Adjustment Mechanism and Components IMA-50XY

JCOPTIX microscopy adjustment mechanisms, components, and adapters provide high loads and convenient reliable mounting. Coarse/fine Z lifts have open dovetails that snap onto profiles anywhere, micrometer fine resolution, and no defocus/stress rebound after adjustment as stated. Reliable microscope stages move smoothly without sticking/jumps and accept different slide holders. Coarse/fine Z lift. Model: IMA-50Z. Maximum 10 kg; minimum 1 μm; M4/M6 top threads; open dovetail for any position on 66 mm profiles. JCOPTIX lifts have coarse travel 48 mm, coarse resolution 15.7 mm/r, fine travel ±1.5 mm, minimum 1 μm/division, and maximum load 10 kg. A thin wheel on the right locks the mechanism. The rear open dovetail attaches anywhere on 66 mm profiles. Even M4/M6 top threads mount optomechanics for precision Z adjustment. A stability test at 12kg and 38.8-times magnification showed less than 2um descent after focusing and standing 20 hours. Microscope stage/adapter. Models: IMA-50XY, IMA-ZAD. Maximum 2 kg; X travel ±75 mm, Y travel ±50 mm; M3 top threads for holders; reliable adapter. JCOPTIX provides XY stages, adapters, and holders. IMA-50XY has maximum load 2 kg, X travel ±75 mm, Y travel ±50 mm, and 110 mm × 110 mm clear aperture for most transmission microscopes. Bottom 4 M4 countersinks mount it; top M3 threads accept JCOPTIX or custom holders. Hole positions also fit Thorlabs holders. Copper rack-and-pinion drive moves continuously without sticking/jumps, with X resolution 26 mm/r and Y 32.5 mm/r. IMA-SA1713 has a central SM2 aperture with surrounding 60 mm cage threads, 4-40UNC, for 60 mm systems. A central slide recess requires removing the MTC-SM2E cover before placement. Side clamps can move to opposite symmetric holes. After long use, a tool compresses the sleeve's U-opening to restore reliable clamping. Corners have 4 captive M3 screws. Three threaded set screws level the holder where needed; generally they must not protrude below it during installation. JCOPTIX IMA-ZAD joins IMA-50Z coarse/fine Z lifts and IMA-50XY stages. Reinforcing ribs increase strength/load capacity. Its 135 mm × 95 mm aperture suits transmission and lets lower objectives approach samples without interference. Two-axis-stage adapter. Model: IMSZ-MA. 6061-T6; connects XY stages/coarse-fine Z lifts. JCOPTIX IMSZ-MA has a 60 mm through-aperture and reinforcing ribs, mainly connecting IMA-50Z to XY stages such as DML-13XY1. XY stage with central SM1 aperture. Model: DML-13XY1.XY travel 13 mm; height 25.4 mm; spring-slide-clip compatibility; fits 60 mm and 30 mm cages. This compact JCOPTIX stage is only 25.4 mm high and provides 13 mm travel per axis for microscope field fine adjustment. An SM1 through-thread suits bottom-lit imaging for clarity/uniformity. Japanese Mitutoyo micrometers provide smooth adjustment at 10 µm resolution; precision crossed-roller guides reduce play and improve stability/accuracy. M6, M4, 4-40 arrays and 3 Ø3.2 mm dowel holes accept clips and 60 mm/30 mm cages. Underneath, 4 4-40 holes fit 60 mm cages. Four-position slide clamp. Model: IMA-SA1713F. 4 slide positions; for upright/inverted microscopes; 3 leveling set screws. JCOPTIX IMA-SA1713F has a 140 mm × 65 mm rectangular opening and four slots above it for 76.5 mm × 26.2 mm slides. The four corners carry 4 captive M3 mounting screws. For applications requiring precise sample leveling, three M4×0.5 threaded set screws adjust level. During installation, ensure set screws do not protrude below the holder and damage the platform or sample. Slide holder with central SM2 through-thread, 60 mm cage compatibility, and clamp plates. Model: IMA-SA1713. Slide clamps on both sides; central SM2 threaded hole; 3 leveling set screws. IMA-SA1713 has a central SM2 threaded hole surrounded by 60 mm cage mounting threads, 4-40UNC, for 60 mm cage systems. A central slide recess requires removal of the MTC-SM2E tube protection cover before placing a slide. Side clamp plates can move to opposing symmetric mounting holes. After prolonged use, a tool can adjust the U-shaped opening in the clamp-plate sleeve to restore clamping. Four corners carry 4 captive M3 mounting screws. Three threaded set screws precisely adjust level. Ensure these do not protrude below the holder during installation, to avoid damaging the platform or sample.
